Ask what fusion can do for you
Instead of pouring billion dollars into massive fusion reactors in pursuit of power generation, we ask a simple question: what can fusion deliver today? By combining proven science with bold novel engineering, we aim to make fusion technology more compact, more efficient - and within reach. And we have a plan.
We are Cambridge Heavy Industries (CHI), a laser fusion company distinguished by our compact platform for a hybrid technology combining fast ignition and inertial confinement fusion (FI + ICF). In addition to the conventional pursuit of fusion energy, our benchtop fusion machine is designed to enable high-pressure material synthesis and neutron generation. It offers cost-effective solutions that can be deployed directly at the point of use – in research, medicine, and energy. Our initial focus is on the production of tritium – an essential fuel for fusion reactors.
Fusion ignition is here — but the world still lacks the fuel to power it.
Tritium is essential for nearly all fusion projects.
Only 25-30kg
exists globally
The worldwide tritium stockpile can be depleted before fusion power plants achieve Tritium Breeding Ratio (TBR) of 1.
$30M
per kilogram
This is current market price for tritium with limited access.
Aging CANDU reactors
Current supply depends on CANDU reactors, half set to retire this decade.
~1 kg
/year
Current commercial demand, but it will surge to 10 kg/year by 2030 when major research reactors such as ITER and Spark become online
We build compact laser fusion machines designed to produce rare materials, starting with tritium.
